Something to ponder about...

Gentlemen,

Thank you both for the opinions expressed. It helps put the decision in perspective. I see your points about having additional differences between these LE/Boutique only models and the regular production ones. They are slight differences without going overboard on something different. It seems to me that ALS keeps a tight tolerance on the diversity of these models not swaying too much from the regular production ones. Maybe it is a testament to the design philosophy of the brand, or maybe it's due to the low production volume of the overall manufacture. I do believe that there are enough slight differences to grab some attention. Either way, at the end of the day, like all other ALS of regular production or not, they are bar none beautifully crafted time pieces. Definitely something to ponder amount.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,
RP

New Saxo LE

I perfectly agree with François-Xavier as, for a 25 LE, I would have liked they push the try a bit further (a black/blue/grey dial ?...). But finally, as it is, I find this opus (as I found the previous one in the past) nonetheless quite attracting: nice ...
